Description: Once again, Emilie Townes brings together essays by leading womanist theologians, interweaving a concern for matters of race, gender, and class as these bear on the well-being of the African-American community.

Description: Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna. Three very different women, at different ages and stages of life. One single, one married, one widowed. One just beginning to experience life. One coping with the challenges and changes of midlife. And one coming close to the end of her life. But these women had one thing in common. They chose to submit to God’s will, even when it didn’t seem to make sense. Take a closer look at their words and actions, and see how each woman had a unique purpose in God’s great plan to bring His Son to earth. A willing heart, a hearing heart, and a faithful heart. The Three Wise Men, though mentioned only briefly in the Gospel of Matthew, are well-known characters in the Christmas story. But we know very little about them—not even their names, or if in fact there were three of them. But the Scriptures do teach us for certain about three wise women—Mary, mother of Jesus; Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist; and Anna, a prophetess who proclaimed the good news of Jesus’ birth. Each woman played an important role in the Christmas story. They didn’t give Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, as the wise men did. But they did offer Him their most precious possessions: their hearts.

Description: "This book is interested not only in analyzing colonial discourse or in deconstructing western dominant regimes of knowledge, but also in examining the interdependence of the cultural terrain traversed by both the colonizers and colonized….I hope to create a little more space to imagine that an alternative world and a different system of knowing are possible." —from the Introduction The burgeoning field of postcolonial studies argues that most theology has been formed in dominant cultures, laden intrinsically with imperializing structures. An essential task facing theology, thus, is to "decolonize" the mind and free Christianity from colonizing bias and structures. Here, in this truly groundbreaking study, highly respected feminist theologian Kwok Pui-Lan offers the first full-length theological treatment of what it means to do postcolonial feminist theology. She explains her methodological basis and explores several specific topics, including Christology, pluralism, and creation.

Description: Women are looking for new ways to know themselves and to connect with God, two forms of knowledge that are intrinsically linked. Many have left traditional religion in frustration that it didn't reflect their real lives, turning instead to alternative spiritualities that purport to honor women's experience. In this post-feminist interpretation of Christianity, Lilian Calles Barger challenges both Christian tradition and feminist trends in spirituality to provide a fresh and inspiring look at divine wisdom, opening women's awareness to the voice of God in the world.

Description: This book is a powerful collection of personal essays about the Savior. Each essay brings anecdotes and intriguing insights that strengthen and encourage all who read them. It conveys a sense of peace and calm that gently envelops its readers. Renowned scholar Deen Kemsley sets out to know Christ and experience his love in this sincere and personal book. Though the story is far from simple, his findings are clear: God is there, he hears your prayers, and he loves you. The book is unique in that prominent leaders from very different Christian denominations have all endorsed the book. For example, Glenn Beck of CNN indicates the book leads readers to the point where "they can almost see his face, and helps them feel the Savior's infinite love for them." Richard L. Bushman describes it as "gripping." Richard Mouw, the president of Fuller Theological Seminary, indicates the book is "impressive and moving." Publisher's Weekly states the book "has a deeply ecumenical tone… it's refreshing and quietly lovely." Rebecca Wire of Roundtable Reviews states, "This was a beautiful read."

Description: "Essays of considerable literary erudition and sophistication that... dislodge dull stereotypes to enable both women and men readers to see the Bible with fresh eyes."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review
As the one work that has held moral and religious sway over the Judeo-Christian tradition for thousands of years, the Bible is unsurpassed in world literature. For women, its meaning is particularly complex; traditionally, the Bible has been used to keep women in their place, but it has also been a book of enduring inspiration. Out of the Garden marks a new stage in women's relations to the Bible: this is the first collection of essays in which women read and respond to the Bible out of pleasure and curiosity--free to explore what is really relevant to women's lives.
Drawing on their own experiences and interests, Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, Phyllis Trible, Rebecca Goldstein, June Jordan, Ursula K. Le Guin, and twenty-one other writers boldly, imaginatively--and sometimes reproachfully--address the Old Testament stories, characters, and poetry that mean the most to them. Thoughtful, challenging, and playful, these beautifully written essays explore the Bible in fresh new ways. Out of the Garden reclaims the Bible for women and shows readers that the Bible is a source we can return to again and again.
"A many-splendored achievement...This grand collection is a bold revitalization of our relation to our tradition. It offers the reader the gorgeously varied company of strongly delineated temperaments as they take on the compelling, threatening figures of our imaginative forebears."
--Harold Bloom
Author of The Book of J and The Western Canon
